After Netflix, Now YouTube Is Enforcing The Same Household Requirement For Its Family Plan Subscribers
Portfolio Pulse from Rounak Jain
YouTube is enforcing a policy requiring family plan subscribers to live in the same household, similar to Netflix's earlier move. YouTube Premium family plan users are being asked to confirm their addresses to meet the eligibility requirements. This enforcement follows price hikes in YouTube Premium, mirroring actions by Netflix and Disney+. Alphabet Inc. owns YouTube, and Netflix Inc. has also enforced household requirements for its subscribers earlier this year.
